Tucker Carlson: Abortion Not ‘Political Debate’ but a ‘Spiritual Battle’

“It’s chronicled in great detail throughout the Hebrew Bible. It’s human sacrifice, which rears its head about every four chapters … Of all the sins the ancients committed … every single time it is described it is called detestable,” he said. 

“Every civilization on the face of the earth has engaged in it,” he continued. “…The archeological record tells us human sacrifice, the sacrifice of children, the killing of children, is the one constant in human civilization.”

Carlson queried how civilizations across history could all arrive at the idea of sacrificing their children to somehow achieve “power and happiness and contentment,” when doing so “cuts against the imperative of evolutionary biology.” 

“It’s not a natural human function to want to kill your own children, actually. That’s an idea, an impulse that was introduced,” he said. “Outside forces are acting on people at all times throughout history, in every culture on the planet to convince people that if they sacrifice their children, they will be happy and safe.”

“And that’s exactly what [abortion] is. It is a religious rite,” he added. “Now they are saying abortion is itself a pathway to joy. Really? So, this is not a political debate, this is a spiritual battle. There is no other conclusion.”
